Let Your Hair Down And Your Guard Up

(I’m at a therapist’s office, and I’m really close with the women at reception. I make some small talk with one of them.)

Receptionist: “Did you do something new to your hair? It looks really nice!”

Me: “It’s been a full two months since I last cut it, if that’s what you’re asking.”

Receptionist: “No… it’s really stylish! Did you go to a salon?”

Me: “I haven’t brushed in over a week; I’m surprised I had the energy to shower today.”

Receptionist: “I think I’ll just be quiet now.”
